Suprema announced that its RealScan-G10 and RealScan-10 line of fingerprint scanners have received final certification from the Government of India’s Standardization Testing & Quality Certification (STQC) to be part of the country’s Unique ID (UID) project.
The STQC certification is mandatory for any provider of live fingerprint scanners to be used in the UID project, which will utilize fingerprint and other data to provide each citizen of the country a unique identification number that corresponds to and can be authenticated by the collected biometric data.
Among the aspects of the RealScan-G10 and the RealScan-10 that Suprema touts are its image quality and speed of 20 frames per second, the fastest scan rate in the world.
Should the Suprema scanners be chosen for use in the UID project, it wouldn’t be the first civil ID program they have taken part in as Suprema’s scanners have also been used in civil ID projects for the U.S., India, Brazil and countries in the EU.
